The UI-Podcast: The Future of Crimea
With Oleg Sentsov, Karina Shyrokykh and Andreas Umland.

The human rights situation in Crimea has deteriorated since 2014, with the banning of Mejlis and curbs on the freedom of press and assembly. Other human rights violations, such as arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearances, have been documented by human rights organizations. While the conflict seems far from an end, how can the human rights situation in Crimea be protected? What are the possible future scenarios for Crimea and is a peaceful return of Crimea to Ukraine possible? Listen here.

Russia and Iran are both under Western sanctions, and every prolonged sanction period seems to strengthen the relation between them. Recent meetings between the countries have attracted a substantial amount of attention, mainly because of the Kremlin’s defiance of US sanction threats against countries who trade with Iran. UI´s Kiana Islamian gives an insight into the Russia-Iran relationship. Read the analysis here.
